 * I am trying to get the short code to be centered in the text box but it isn’t.
   I tried to center it with the text box but the icons still go to the left. How
   do I get the icons to be centered in the text box?
 * The text box shows them as centered but the are not centered on the website.
 * This doesn’t work:
    <p style=”text-align: center;”>[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]
   </p>
 * Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

 * Thanks Michael for reaching out.
 * We’ll also give an option for that in the free plugin, for now it’s currently
   only available in this on [https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/](https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/).
   You can still do it with the free one but it requires some CSS/coding know-how.

 * I am having a similar issue in that I have set icons to ‘centre’ alignment in
   the plugin settings – the title centres but the icons are set to the left – looks
   bad.
    [http://box5134.temp.domains/~compeln3/services/](http://box5134.temp.domains/~compeln3/services/)–
   see bottom of the page. Can anyone help with this bug please?

 * [@compellingcopy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/compellingcopy/) At the
   moment it’s still only possible in premium as mentioned above (upon click of 
   a button), however if you have CSS skills then there should be an alternative
   way too. We have it on our list to also integrate it in free.

 * Thanks Social Dude. Weird how the settings say you can centre on the free version,
   yet this is the result.

 * [@compellingcopy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/compellingcopy/) Probably
   we need to change this – where did you see it?

 * Maybe it is my misinterpretation, but in the settings…under number 6 “Any other
   wishes for your main icons?” It says alignment – centred. It says in brackets(
   with respect to each other) but it’s not clear what that means, so I think it
   needs to be a bit more user friendly and clearer that while the title will be
   centred, the icons will look wonky…
 * Users would expect the title and icons to sit together at the very least. I don’t
   think any one would choose to have the appearance that I have ended up with 🙁

 * Yes, we have it on our list to enable this in the free version too. Should be
   live in a few weeks.
